Well i've done loads of research and this laptop is about to become a garden ornament. PM the link Cargo so I don;t have to buy a new laptop tomorrow. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thing is if Manx Radio charged me £10 I'd pay it willingly, but I will not pay Duke as all they have ever done is take from the TT, in my humble opinion.

Being very limited in how I can access viewing places this year, I paid a tenner to listen on the computer and watch the live timing. Untimed last night---no problem---tonight, total rubbish.I emailed them via the link on the site---nothing.I then saw a message on the "live" site which said there had been software problems.The sound was total gobbledegooch and the lap timing was useless.All we could see was the top names through the various points.I want to see people I know and where they are on the course,and the Sulby speed trap was not available either.They have had long enough to sort it from last year,and I am becoming very fed up with second rate value for money and service.No excuses,we don't need them

Looks like loads of subscribers on iomtt.com are demanding their money back, wonder what their chances are.

i don't know if the Trade Description Act applies on the IoM.It should

According to Microsoft the am services has now been firewalled, i cant get it now on the link I posted.

After digesting 'Moan Moan's' reply I thought better of adding to the impending blast from forum users and I decided to subscribe to the 'TT Live' service knowing full well it did have teething problems last year.

I now have a very slow acting dashboard, No Videos to watch, a murky 3 point web cam shot of the start and finnish, and the thing I subscribed for in the first place 'Manx Radio' suffering a hardware failure. For someone who has put his money where his mouth is , I don't think this is good enough.

Am I likely to get any sort of re fund ? I doubt it.

I look forward to MM's views on this subject........

I think you should all get your money back and a free subscription. What sort of image are they trying to portray?

Yeah, and I pay my BBC licence fee despite the BBc not providing a local radio station in the Isle of Man as they do elsewhere or a local TV output as they do in Jersey. And until now I have never felt the need to whine on an internet forum while hiding behind a daft pseudonym, although pykey is quite appropriate for someone unwilling to pay £10 to follow the sport the supposedly love. I trust you complained to the BBC for having to pay your licence fee for NW200 coverage as well.

Do you really think Manx Radio aren't getting any money from it? Do you think Duke is stealing the Manx Radio commentary and hoping they won't notice? "Take from the TT", unlike the so-called fans who can't be bothered coming here and moan about paying a tenner to follow the action?

I think you should all get a refund for when it isnt working. So, maximum of £20 for the whole festival, that's 11 days of practice and race coverage, will get you a refund of about £1.82 for the day it didn't work. Although it was fixed about halfway through the session, so perhaps call it a quid. Now your only problem is deciding what to spend all that lovely cash on.

I see from the user list you registered exactly 5 minutes after I did,,,,,,What exactly is your point ?

I won't be revealing the link I'm using to listen to Manx Radio AM service.........with a little luck it will stay on.

Given how easy it was to find there must be dozens of ways in so work it out for yourselves.

I can't help but wonder that perhaps the BBC should have been given this job Duke certainly seem to have made a pigs ear of it..........again ???

Thanks F C, listening loud and clear here in Tokyo.

Moan Moan. You miss the point. Its not just about your calculated cost for each individual, (although you may wish to apply your accountancy skills to the value for money we who do come across receive from the Steam Packet) its about the significant sums made by Duke overall from this. They are not doing this for our benefit are they.

Suggestion - why don't Duke calculate how much they make from subscribers for when the service is unavailable or not fully working and instead of refunding, they donate that to good causes eg the Joey Dunlop Foundation or the Helicopter Fund.

I agree, Cargo. I have only PM'd it to one person. Unfortunately someone has already given out one of the links. Doing that will guarantee it will be stopped.

It didn't stop it last year when it was posted on the front of my site.
I've paid for live! with only really the intention of using it last night and tonight as we're off over in the morning so for me it's at a 50% failure rate so far.
Tax payers covering the cost of the radio.. someone's getting well paid if its costing that much to run, it's got more adverts on it than any commercial station round here. And why play music DURING practice? Do that before and after, while practice is on and my mates are out on circuit I want to know they're ok.

Gone it's changed to FM



Just as well really I'm downloading a movie
